Gillingham/Millwall/Swansea/Yeovil


thanks

No problem.

bugger off

as soon as i seen who the last poster was i knew it would be some old piece of garbage

I took one person with me to Gillingham. Hope this helps.

I once took a dozen leeks to Swansea.

It wasn't this season though, it was actually to the Vetch. So I can't see it being much help at all to honest young Tom plus I've never even been to Gillingham, Millwall, or Yeovil never mind took stuff.

in 93/94 we took seven to Swansea. Murton Les went on his own and was gutted he wasn't the only one there. He said to me, "I should have knarn (yakker past tense) that yee'd be here"!!!
There was 4 in my car, and a bloke who came from Coventry to watch Houchen play, and his mate who he dragged along for the ride - but his mate didn't even like football!!! True story - even the Latimers, French's etc couldn't make it because the game was switched to a Friday night on the Wednesday at Swansea's request!! Pools agreed to it because it meant John MacPhail wouldn't be suspended, as his ban commenced the following day!!!! We would certainly have had more on the Saturday - but it was an experience to put it mildly.

Remember going to Peterbrough on a tuesday night many moons ago and there was myself the brother - in - law and a Millwall fan in the away end who was doing the grounds.

You's are all just showing off now, with your "I remember this game" and "I remember that game" crap.

I've been to loads of away games that I can't even remember being at, some which I don't know how I got there and others when I'm not even sure if I made it there or not.

Piss head.

Four of us in the away end at Mansfield the year they won the 4th division championship. Great merriment in the home supporters when we were singing 'you're supposed to be at home'

Once in the sixties me and my dad were in the spot the ball picture in the mail.We couldn't be recognised but we were the only two sat in one end of the cameron brewery stand at that game

An old myth I heard was that we only took 18 to Swansea when the club won their first evre promotion. Apparaently a load of Poolies stood outside the Mail offices that night waiting for the final score - probably sparked wild scenes of celebration.
My folks rang the club the next morning to ask what the score was from the payphone on the corner.

I went to Colchester when they had a ban on away supporters, as I was (and still do) live in Essex I went in plain clothes, well no Pools jersey or scarf and stood with Colchester supporters. We won and it was very difficult to stifle a cheer. I seem to remember it was one of Rob Moverley's first games for us - and we still won.
I'm sure other Poolies were there but similarly disguised.

right.................................................I was the only one who went to watch Pools play Guam away on a Wednesday night at 3 o'clock in the morning in the now defunct Intercontinental Oceanic Shield (now known as the Associate Members Cup) where we lost 23-0 and we were lucky to get nil. And the away end was uncovered, and a typhoon blew across the pitch, and I was on 6 till 2 the following day.

No you weren't!

my most obscure Pools match was Preston away in the LDV on a Monday night about 6 years ago


any other bunkerites at that un? [I know Yosser was.... ]


we won 2-1, I was plastered and drove back to our holiday house in the lakes....

so nobody knows the answer i asked for then?

Loads more than 50 there at Gillingham John, a couple of hundred I would say.

IT ENDED 22-0... their second goal was later disallowed.

Friday night match at Crewe in 83/84 only one poolie went, my mate dave A. There was an old man at the time who went to all the games and Dave thought there were only the two of them there. Towards the end of the season Dave was talking to this old bloke who mentioned the only away game he had missed was the Crewe game.

A funny story was that Dave ( not wearing colours,as this was in the days of serious footy violence) on getting off the train went straight to the nearest boozer that had bouncers on the door it been a Friday , to be refursed entry as away supporters were not allowed.

I was at that game about 50 of us in an away that held 4,000!! Preston hadn't lost for about 25 games (against Arsenal!) and we were 1-0 down with five minutes left cue some goon in the Preston end next to us to open his coat and reveal that he was actually wearing a Darlo top. Perfect timing as in the next couple of minutes Midgley and Miller netted to give us a 2-1 win

The whole away contingent were doing the conga around all the rows of empty seats whilst laughing at this Loid with his tail firmly between his legs.

A great night

damn right Peej!

we were the raucous goons at the back me in a flasher mac!
the conga was brilliant

I know. We were playing Port Stanley really.

and I was on 2 till 10
